Animals & more animals!


I have been exploring a vintage look for some stylized animals illustrations. I wonder what do you guys think, should I keep drawing until I complete the whole zoo? My focus is to get some kind of realistic approach on preserving the main features of each specie by a crafty-look in colors and textures, revisiting similar illustration techniques from the mid-century but with a personal touch.

Spaceman Tattoo!

Cecília Papi a reality-show star from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil recently tagged me in Facebook with an image of her tattoo, an illustration of a happy spaceman I did while ago. Never considered my art would make a good tattoo but now that I see it is actually not bad, really fun to see somebody wearing permanently your drawings :)

Since she is part of a TV reality-show I wonder if her tattoo process made it in to the show. (See bellow)

Thanks Cix!






...And YES! She sent me a video, this made it in the Show:
